I received a call from Blake tonight, he gave me a date for block leave. My heart begin to flutter when I asked him if he was being deployed. Blake said I didn't say anything about being deployed but, as a mom I felt it. His deployment will last for 12 months.
I then sat down and month by month started to realize the things we will miss throughout the year. Blake will miss Skylar turning 6. We will all miss the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Blake and Kellie will miss their first wedding anniversary. We will miss birthdays.
My heart is aching. Every time I see or hear that another US Soldier has been killed I stop. I look at the TV and I wonder if the news is being reported before the family has been contacted. How hard it must be for the family of the soldiers that are so far from home. Now when I hear about another life of a US soldier, that's life has been taken ,I will wonder if it is my son.
